This two day course will focus on helping physicians that already perform vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic adnexal surgery to expand their knowledge of minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques.
Physicians will be exposed to techniques and the steps that are required to perform LAVH (Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy), LSH (Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy), and TLH (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy).
Participants will also be exposed to robotic-assisted hysterectomy techniques and single port incision hysterectomy.
This educational program is designed for specialists in gynecology and practitioners in women’s health looking to advance their knowledge and skill in laparoscopic hysterectomy techniques including general and sub-specialty gynecologists, fellows and residents.
